Athletistic / Combat. United World of Wrestling (UWW) President Nenad Lalovic commented on the organization’s decision not to suspend Russian and Belarusian wrestlers from international competitions. They were allowed to participate with neutral status.

Russian and Belarusian athletes will be able to compete at the World Championships in Belgrade (Serbia). It will take place from September 16 to 24. The competition will qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France. In neutral status at the World Championships, Russia will be represented by 11 wrestlers.

United World of Wrestling did not allow 26 people from Russia and Belarus to participate in the World Championships

“It is very important for our sport that the strongest athletes compete. Of course, this is not an easy process, given the events currently taking place on the political scene.

But we try as much as possible not to be exposed to politics,” Lalovich is quoted by Match TV.
